The Lexington Historical Society has partnered with a team of teachers from the Lexington schools to develop a rich selection of School Programs in American Revolutionary and Colonial history suitable for elementary through high school age students.

Using the Society’s extensive collection of original objects and archival material, students can be “history detectives.” They learn about the famous Battle on the Green and the “First Shot” of the Revolution and gain hands-on knowledge about the people and life in Colonial America, with Lexington as our example, at a crucial time in our history leading up to and during the first 24 hours of the American Revolution.
